PUTTING aside any party allegiances, the local elections in Dudley this year provide a fascinating political battleground with a whole host of possible results on the table.
For the British National Party the opportunities are there, but much depends on the performance of our two main opponents, Labour and UKIP, the latter which in recent years has established Dudley as something of a stronghold.
Last year Labour received a boost from the huge anti-BNP campaign run by the Trade Unions which helped shore up its vote across the Black Country and probably deterred some of our potential supporters from going to the polls. UKIP last year in Dudley fought its best local election campaign in the country and polled the sort of votes that this huge effort deserved.
But this year things are very different. Labour is even less popular with the electorate than it was last year and there has been nothing like the anti-BNP campaign of 12 months ago to come to its rescue. UKIP has had a disastrous year and its election results have plummeted to an all-time low, so although the local UKIP organisation in Dudley is still one of its best in the country, it will struggle to achieve last year’s level of support. Add to all this the Tories rise in the national opinion polls and the collapse of the Lib-Dems in Dudley and you have a cauldron of possibilities that could provide a variety of results.
Simon Darby, the British National Party’s Deputy Chairman and Press Officer was campaigning in Dudley yesterday and reported on his website:
“Talking to people today, many of whom recognised me, there was a common theme - an absolute detestation of the Labour Party and bitter complaints about the cost of living. During the day in fact I noticed two repossession notices posted rather coldly in front windows as it becomes obvious that people are starting to feel the pinch.”
Simon spoke with Black Country organiser Ken Griffiths who is standing in Coseley East. He readily admits that his small team in Dudley are stretched to the limit trying to capitalise on the opportunities that might be on offer and this is something else that must be taken on board when working out the possible outcome here.
This agonising about “what might happen” is what election analysis is all about and I can’t help but be drawn is drawn to the fact that last year the combined BNP and UKIP vote in Brockmoor & Pensnett, St James and Upper Gornel & Woodsetton would have been enough to secure victory. Two of these seats were held by Labour and with its support on the slide and many UKIP votes almost certainly destined for the BNP, this has to provide us with our best opportunity.

Speaking to friends and family in Dudley and the surrounding areas BNP is the only party people feel are listening to them. The problem you have there is they have to keep it quiet as in some areas you can cut the atmosphere with a knife and people are frightened. But where they put their cross on the ballot paper is private and although they would not openly tell you it’s BNP, the wave of support I have seen and heard makes me feel very confident.
Just the ‘whitewash’by the council of another super mosque in Dudley when the people campaigned against it, is enough to push people to make a change. The unions and Labour who used to be for us are now a joke and the industry in the area is disapearing before our eyes.
The no-go areas that the government dismiss as urban myth are spreading and the police are turning a blind eye to it.
I could go on and on but know that on here I am preaching to the converted, so I put my energy into saving ‘my people’ by showing them the truth via the BNP website.
Dudley IS worth saving, come on you Black Country folk ‘ yow know it meks sense!’
VOTE BNP
First Labour denied that there were any areas where whites and non muslims couldn’t go.
A week later they said.
Labour: We’ll break up Islamic ghettos
Minister speaks out on ‘no-go’ areas for whites

This is what happens when people call others racist, for warning in advance what will happen.
-
Ghettoes were created deliberately - rainbow, diverse, vibrant multiculti et ….. it didn’t backfire at all - it was intended to cause factional conflict - the vibrant, rainbow, one-world, no-borders, happy clappy “antifascists” are the dupes of those in whose interests it is to create competition groups to supply the cheapest labour and black market goods, drugs, faud and the like, no matter the social costs. Those groups are then bribed and given precedence over the native population. They are the liblabcons “clients” - they vote liblabcon - the natives are eradicated by all available means - driven to unemployment, disposession, the benefits culture, drugs, drink, gambling, debt, no pride, “role-models”, abortion, hopelessness, despair and finally sterilisation of the native breeding stock.
Its not politics, its genocide. The ‘politicians’ are the vassals of the globalist elite. The money controllers. There are no seperate parties - only the liblabcon-trick.
That’s why they all attack the BNP. The BNP is the native British. May 1st - British National Party. - Ed
The Purpose is Division and conflict, then they will come down hard on us.
That is why the British are Demonised as Lazy, Fat Drunken, Racist, Murdering Paedophiles.
We are to be disposessed and when the numbers are right, eradicated permanently, If civil war is to happen I suggest we do it when we choose not them, so, Get your kids off the streets, don’t get involved in this.
Here’s their Agenda.

There’s an article in the Daily Mail today on Richard Barnbrook, BNP Candidate for London.
Richard Barnbrook, from this article is Obviously a racist because he’s running for the BNP and he keeps a copy of Mein Kampf under his bed, this must be true because the Mail was told this by one of his Girlfriends who is, wait for it, Black.
Not only this but he is engaged to Simone Clarke, Simone has a Mixed race child, Now Obviously Richard Doesnt Know about this and no doubt he will be furious when he finds the child locked in a cellar or wardrobe in Simones House.
Being a Racist, ( Richard didn’t know two of his Previous girlfriends were black because they Only went out at night )Richard wont mind about the child being imprisoned of course, just that Simone never told him.
I’d like to see the look on his face when he finds out that not only has he dated Black women, but his Fiance has a Mixed race child and, this is the Best bit, he’s standing for a Party that Supports the rights of Ex Gurkhas to live in the UK, man he is going to be Furious !!!!
Look People, there is an election Looming, what was the Purpose of this cheap Piece of Journalism in the Mail today.
Ask yourself why they haven’t Printed the Articles above which shows the real purpose behind Mass mass mass mass immigration is to eradicate the Nation state and national Identity.
Genocide in other words, the Mail and other newspapers cannot claim they don’t know about this and other articles because I sent them all to the Major Newspapers over a year ago.
There is an election due, This was a political Assasination Piece, an Assasination piece not just meant to assasinate Richard Barnbrook and the BNP, but ultimately you and your children.
Wake up your Friends, Collegues and Relatives about what our Political Establishment are up to.
Get your kids off the streets, Don’t get involved.

When your backs on the wall a fight is your only option. Why should these poor people be subjected to this kind of treatment in their own Town, in their own Country. Places like South Africa require whites to live behind security fences, but please not in England.
To all the candidates in Dudley we are very proud of you here in Wales and you will win. However 25 miles north west of you and 25 miles south east of us is the Crewe and Nantwich parliamentry by-election, I know for a fact its a hotbed for British nationalism. These by-elections are very rare so I hope and pray we will get a great candidate to stand, he or she would get help from all over the land. I believe if we didn’t win we would come a very very close second.
Suprisingly enough the Mail have suddenly disallowed comments for the Barnbrook story . I asked them whether they were going to allow any positive comments bearing in mind they’re controlled by the N.U.J but , que suprise , no answer !
Yes that article in the mail has been rewritten, half of the stuff has been taken out, and now you can comment.
Best wishes to all candidates in Dudley. Your courage is an example to all our people.
The fear felt by Dudley residents now, however justified, will be as nothing if the liblabcon gets in again. Stand up, Dudley voters, and get them out. Vote BNP!
Go Dudley!! Come on people, your country needs you!
It was a pleasing surprise to see there’s a BNP candidate standing in the Norton ward, in Stourbridge. Unlike most parts of Dudley borough, this area is not down-on-its-uppers or very enriched, as yet. So it’s a real sign of the changing climate of opinion and the stretching of our suicidal British ‘tolerance’ that the party is standing there. I’m confident that Andy Griffiths will poll a heartening amount of votes. It’s sure good to know that his presence on the ballot form will be needling the muesli-munching, four-wheel-drive, NIMBY multicult-celebrating idiots that abound in Norton.
Interesting to look at two years’ voting figures — 2006 and 2007.
Some wards had no BNP at all, some BNP both times. And some had a candidate in 2006 and not 2007, and others the other way.
For those interested in total turnouts…
Wards with
BNP BOTH years - changes in turnout were -5.7%, -2.7%, + 2%, and +3.9%. Not much change.
Wards with NO BNP: change was -3.3% - again, not much.
But wards with no candidate in 2006 and one in 2007: changes were +4.8%, +11.5%, +13.8%, +32.4%.
And in wards with a candidate only in 2006, the change was -7.1%.
It does look as though a BNP candidate makes more voters turn out!
There are several seats where the UKIP vote was high which suggests some independent mindedness. And I wonder what lib dem voters will do. Also there are some very Con, and very Lab seats… pity Ken Griffiths has a ’small team’.
